Fiji soccer players to benefit from opening of player market

Fiji soccer players will get a chance to play in Australia and New Zealand in the near future.

FIFA Ambassador Cristain Karembeu who was in the country last week, confirmed he is in negotiations with Oceania Football to open up the player market in the region.

The negotiations, if successful could see players from Fiji, New Caledonia, Tahiti and Solomons playing for top clubs in Australia and New Zealand and lift the standard of soccer in these countries.

He also said that it will be good for players to show their talent and gain exposer what is lacking amongst the South Pacific Island players.
